Synopsis
The latest book by Greg Behrendt, author of the two-million plus copy best-seller "He's Just Not That Into You", is another hilarious, wry and wise take on relationships and how to move on when one goes sour. "He's Just Not That Into You" is more than a book. It's a revolution. The phrase, coined by Behrendt for an episode of "Sex and the City", has now entered the language: it features in ads, it's referred to in newspaper headlines and it has spawned spin-off spoof books and more. 'It's Called A Break-up Because It's Broken' promises to do this and more. It will help you get over anyone and move on. Behrendt's voice is unique - combining tell-it-like-it-is advice with humour and the 'guy's eye view'. The book is filled with solid advice to help you let go of your ex - for example: 'It's 3 am, the bottle of wine is empty, do you really want to make that call? How hot is that?' Each insightful chapter is complemented with a Q-and-A with Greg on what he's thinking, case studies, and games. Greg and Amiira tackle tough issues such as break-up sex, how not to lose your friends during a break-up, and 10 great places to cry.

It's the ultimate read and reference for anyone who has ever been in a relationship.

Customer Reviews

For serious Superfoxes!
As someone who is currently suffering from a broken heart this book didn't really start the way I had hoped, by telling me that there was still hope and that he would realise what a mistake he had made and rush back with a huge gesture!
Instead it told the truth. Once that guy has dumped you they really don't want you being crazy lady on them, this book gives you real advice on how to escape from the seriously earth shattering situation of having your heart crushed by someone you love with some remaining dignity.
Let's face it, if they have ended the relationship they weren't all that great anyway, imagine not realising how amazing we are and how lucky they were to have us! Keep your head up, it's hard but you will get through.

Essential Break Up Buddy
This book is good. It's well written and humorous. It will be your pal when you're distraught and teach you how to navigate through a difficult time with your head high. I only wish I had it seven years ago- it would have saved me a lot of time & heartache!
It's written like the authors genuinely care and is must have tlc!

Really, just what you need
at a time when the bottom of your world has fallen out - particularly when it's through no fault or doing of your own.

My husband of 13 years decided to have a mid life crisis (at the age of 44!) and came home one day, said he wanted his own space and promptly left. The bottom of my world fell out. I suppose to make matters worst, I have MS and am not in a position to just get up and restart a new life elsewhere. So you could say I really felt shafted.

The shock (this happened in the space of 12 hours) and trauma left me reeling and feeling like I was living in a parallel universe. Then a good friend sent me this book and yowza yowza, does it hit home - in a way friends never could.

There are points made here which will leave you cringing (yep, I did that), nodding your head (as in been there, done that) and with the realisation that a. you're not alone, b. other people make complete fools out of themselves and c. no, he's not coming back, yes, it is over and no, the world (or your life) hasn't ended.

If you are at this stage in your life, you need strength, pride and the wherewithal to move on. This book - through its humour, insight and no punches pulled approach will help you achieve that. If you have the physical and mental wherewithal to put what's happened behind you, then do it and use the wisdom this book offers to help you.
